Hello,
Im currently writing a pml script for a movie, with complex animation (i.e. rotate, move, translate, set_transparency etc.), and for each state I use the png function to get an image (I then use another software to compile them into an avi file). Everything works fine but the top of each image is cut (I tried several resolution with the viewport command, at 800x600 the 120 first lines are black, at 960x720 the first 240 lines are black). I work with the version 0.97 of PyMol, and my OS is WinXP Pro SP2. When I launch the script, I cannot see what happens in PyMol (I only have the introduction screen and PyMol hangs until all frames are generated=not responding state) and when the script is finished, I can see the final state and everything is fine, i.e. the displayed image is complete. If I try to use the png command at this stage, the resulting file is complete (no black lines). Many thanks for your help! Of course I can send script and files if one wants to try it out Regards, Grégori Gerebtzoff Division of Biophysical Chemistry Biozentrum, University of Basel Klingelbergstrasse 70 CH-4056 Basel / Switzerland
